Catching Up

So, I got lazy in November and didn't keep up with blog posts. So I'm gonna try to catch up.



I was really sorry to see the Sunrise Series end. I really can't believe how fast I got through the whole Baxter Family Saga, which includes 14 books. Karen Kingsbury is writing a sort of spin off of this series, called the Above The Line Series. The first book will be released in March. I can't wait!!!



Other books read in November:

Someday by Karen Kingsbury- this starts just after Baby Sarah died. After seeing the way Elaine was there throughout out the whole thing, He decides to ask her to marry him. Dayne and Katie are adjusting to married life and are getting ready to go shoot their movies. Luke and Regan also begin to have some trouble in their relationship.

Sunset by Karen Kingsbury- this was the final book in the Baxter Series. I was so sad to see this end. John marries Elaine, and Ashley and Landon give birth to a little boy, completing their family.

Let it Snow by Debbie Macomber- very short, but SWEET!

On Strike For Christmas by Sheila Roberts - This was funny at times, but kinda stupid-funny at times too. I honestly struggled to finish it.

Reconstructing Natalie by Laura Jensen Walker. I enjoyed this book, but did put it aside to read other books. Natalie was very strong and her friend was hilarious!



Books read in December:

Welcome To Serenity by Sherryl Woods- AWESOME BOOK!!! 4th book in the Sweet Magnolias Series. This was centered around Jeanette Brioche and Tom McDonald.

Small Town Christmas by Debbie Macomber-- I was somewhat disappointed in this book too. I had already read the first story, Return To Promise, and that was fine, but I didn't like the second story, Mail Order Bride AT ALL!

Every Now and Then by Karen Kingsbury: Third book in the 9/11 Series...AWESOME....I really liked Alex. I hope Karen Kingsbury continues this series!

Angels Everywhere by Debbie Macomber. This was somewhat disappointing also. I had started this last year but never finished it. I tried again this year, and struggled to get through the first story. Then the last story was so bad, I skimmed through most of that.

My 2009 goal was originally to read 50 books by June 30th and 100 by December 31st. But at this rate, if I could meet or exceed the number of books I read in 2008 I would be happy.

I do have some books/series Id like to read this year though:

Shenandoah Album by Emilie Richards

Midnight Sons Series by Debbie Macomber

Charleston Trilogy by Sherryl Woods

Trinity Harbor Series by Sherryl Woods

Roommates by Kathryn Stone

Keepsake by Antoinette Stockenberg

Just Desserts- Barbara Bretton

Flamingo Diner- Sherryl Woods


I recently found a new author that I LOVE!!! Stef Ann Holm . I recently finished her book All That Matters (review coming soon). I loved it!!! It reminded me of something that Sherryl Woods would right. I even emailed Stef Ann Holm to tell her how much I liked that book and she replied!!! I'm currently reading another one of her books right now, All the Right Angels. These two books are connected..they're about the same family. The family is even ITALIAN!!! So these books are perfect for me!

Until next time....
